• Developing a clear and actionable HSE policy statement and documentation system.

Unit 2: Hazard Identification and Risk Assessment

• Techniques for systematic hazard identification (e.g., walk-throughs, audits, checklists).
• Conducting **Job Safety Analysis (JSA)** and **Hazard and Operability (HAZOP)** studies.
• Qualitative risk assessment: likelihood and severity scoring for safety risks.
• Specific risk topics: ergonomics, fire, confined spaces, and hazardous materials.
• Understanding the concept of **Acceptable Risk** and the "As Low As Reasonably Practicable" (ALARP) principle.

Unit 3: Environmental Risk Management

• Conducting **Environmental Impact Assessments (EIA)** for new projects or changes.
• Identifying and managing risks related to waste, emissions, energy use, and resource depletion.
• Developing environmental emergency preparedness and spill response plans.
• Compliance monitoring for permits, licenses, and discharge limits.
• Strategies for promoting environmental sustainability and pollution prevention.

Unit 4: Control Implementation and Hierarchy

• Mastering the **Hierarchy of Controls** and its application to risk treatment.
• Designing and implementing effective **Engineering Controls** (e.g., ventilation, guards).
• Developing and enforcing **Administrative Controls** (e.g., permits-to-work, procedures).
• Selecting, training, and managing **Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)**.
• Managing change: risk assessment before implementing any process or equipment change.

Unit 5: Performance Measurement and Review

• Differentiating between **Leading Indicators** (e.g., training hours) and **Lagging Indicators** (e.g., incidents).
• Developing a structured HSE incident reporting and investigation process.
• Using root cause analysis (RCA) techniques to determine fundamental causes.
• Conducting regular HSE internal audits and management reviews.
